SportRack Frontier Rack Reviews

I bought this product and used it to transport two 14' kayaks on top of my Nissan Altima from Chicago to Texas (1400miles each way). It exceeded my expectations. Very strong and durable product.

4 stars - Does the jobWritten by Rabbit, on 6/24/2017

Rack will be used on a Honda Accord to help transport luggage and other items in a car top carry bag, Lockable covers add some security. Front cross bar will make some noise at higher speeds. Noise can be reduced or eliminated by twirling an elastic tie down strap around the front cross bar. This rack system adequately allows transportation on top of a vehicle with no racks. Tightening adjustment thru bolts is essential to a sturdy mounting which will allow for a safe road trip.

Bought this for my daughters Prius. Fine rack- she will use it to move out to MI with her stuff- but be prepared to spend 3-4 hours trying to figure it out. Directions were poor- some screws missing, actual rods didn't seem like the right length. Thank goodness I have a handy brother who made it work. I'm not sure I'd really trust it though. Time will tell. Had it on only a month. Moved once. Fine price- maybe that's why. Get what you pay for?

5 stars - Great rack at a reasonable price!Written by Radacal, on 5/31/2016

Outstanding rack! Directions excluded my car, '12 Ford Focus Hatchback, but was able to fit my car with some thought. I think it can fit MOST cars.

I purchased the Sport Rack to use for those times our 2014 Ford Focus Hatchback just doesn't have the room to carry our luggage and other items. Installation was quite easy and seems a perfect fit. The racks look very nice on our car. I have not yet had the opportunity to actually put anything on top of the racks, but from the looks of them, they seem stout enough that they will carry big loa

Instructions are very generic. Don't trust dimensions provided. Be patient and trail fit before tightening.

5 stars - Great Roof RackWritten by Ski family, on 3/31/2014

Got this roof rack for my CRV because it was much better priced than a Thule or Yakima. It fits great, adjustable, would fit any vehicle of similar size. It seems well made so far (3 months) and has worked great to haul skis.

5 stars - Works well but do take time adjustingWritten by Sailor Samantha, on 9/4/2013

Maybe I'm just slow, but it took me a while to figure out how to change the various angles to make it fit just right. But it does fit, and putting it on is now easy. Worked fine holding small sailboat on Honda Accord. Of course I've got some serious straps around everything just in case. I did look at the cheap Walmart version--it looks quite flimsy by comparison.

SportRack 1998 Accord sedan - Bare Roof Base Rack System

4 stars - Great rack for the price!Written by Ace, on 8/16/2013

Overall it seems to be a great rack, especially considering it costs half as much as some of the bigger name brand racks. This one fits a number of vehicles, including my 2006 VW Jetta and 2013 Hyundai Elantra, which is nice because I can switch it between my vehicles as opposed to buying a second one. I attached a huge Tule roof box with no issues, and after around 10,000 miles (just returned from a long road trip), I haven't noticed any issues. The issues I do have with it are as follows: -The lock caps are plastic and contain a metal piece that twists and once twisted, does not fit back through the hole in the rack body, thereby locking the rack and preventing it from being removed from the car. A crowbar, or possibly even a sturdy screwdriver, could be wedged between the rack and the lock cap and then used to break it off. Of course the same could probably be said for most/all racks. -The clips that hold the cross bar in place dig relatively deep into the metal, which would be a problem if you did need to move it between multiple vehicles, and makes me question the strength of the metal. Then again, it is holding up bikes/boxes/snowboards/etc., not a structural support for a house, so I doubt it would ever be a problem. All other annoyances are insignificant and would be the same with any rack that fits vehicles without rain gutters or factory installed rails. That being said, I am very happy with my purchase. If the Tule rack were the same price, I'd go with that one obviously, but at half the price, this one is a great deal and I doubt I will ever have any need to replace it. It's a quality product in my opinion, assuming its cheaper than bigger name brands.

Fit Notes

Rack Feet

The Frontier bare roof rack is SportRack's roof rack for cars with no rails or fixed points. The foot is made of metal with some plastic shrouding. It has an integrated rubber pad that sits on the roof of the car and a rubber coated hook that clamps the rack into the door openings. The square crossbars have a thin loose fitting plastic sleeve. The traditional square bar design is compatible with most accessories, adapters are NOT typically needed for most accessories. Locks are included. Comes fully assembled. This is a nice rack that is strong and durable at a really great price.

Bought this roof rack to be able to carry my Kayak on my Honda CRV. I installed the rack system the day it arrived and used it shortly thereafter. It worked great. The rack system requires complete assembly and my only complaint would be the instructions includes directions for 3 different vehicles and the attachments in the photos are different than those I receved for my CRV. Got through it and once you figure out one support its easy to do the rest. The distance between support arms front and back is provided, as well as where to place the front rack, but where to place the supports on the arms is not. It took some adjusting which is at an awkward angle, if you want to find the best fit with the anchoring. It would be better if both measurements were provided to insure the support is at the best angle on the edge of the car roof.

5 stars - This product is great, and I recommend it.Written by Steve, on 8/26/2016

This is very well built and was fairly easy to install. The only problem I had was drilling the holes in the gutter protectors. Other than that, the racks fit perfectly and look very nice. I haven't used them yet, but I'm sure they will do the job.â€‹

Seems very sturdy and a good option for my car (Ford CMax). Directions were ok for general assembly, but for my car there were two different clamps provided, presumably for front and rear, to get the best fit, but no reference in instructions to which was which. After a few attempts to mount the bars, I found the right combination for the front and rear mounting, and all is good now.

I am extremely happy with this rack. I was looking all over online, and was nervous about buying it because it was by far the cheapest price, but I new this was a good brand. It fit my 2012 Camry perfectly, came with all the parts I needed, and it is extremely sturdy. I have already used it to transport my 2 kayaks with no problems. The only one small negetive is that because it is a square shape, it does make a slight wind nose at highway speeds. It's not annoying or anything, kind of sounds like white noise in the background. I just turned up the radio a little bit and it's gone. No whisle or anything like that. Would buy again in a second.

I think the rack is great. The instructions to install it, however, are not great. The drawings are incorrect, and the little peices that are cut to length that slide into the bar as a sort of stop, were hard to cut to the right length, or understand what length they should be cut to. I did not use them, as a result.

Otherwise, it seems like a great rack system. It whistles when I drive, so it is quite easy to take off when I do not need it.

Easy to install, reasonably good instructions. The measuring strips I found basically useless, we ended up throwing them out after two failed fitment attempts. You're better off just installing the rack by eye and leaving everything loose until the end. Only complaint I have is the wind noise, which is very appearant at 75+ (highway speeds) even when (possibly only when) the rack is unloaded.

Used for kayaks with thule compatible kayak holders.... Works fine BUT.
The instructions for installation of the rack on the car roof were wrong at a certain point. The front bar/ feet/rubber mounts were fine and installation was no problem. The rear bar however was odd. The instructions had the arrow on the rubber mounts going the wrong way which is impossible noting the cutout on the rubber mounts must match the water channel in the roof of the car. When reversed it worked fine and installed easier than a thule rack. 1 thing they never tell you the hex wrench they give you has a torque measurement device built into it . Took some close examination of the wrench to,notice it.

The 2500 Series 'Euro' rack uses the same glass reinforced feet and fit hooks as the as the original 2500 Series rack so you get a great fit, but it is fitted with rectangular black finished aluminum cross-bars.

I purchased this for my daughter after a failed install of a cheaper version crossbar system. With the help of a friend, we had the crossbars firmly attached in 30 minutes. 2 surf boards went up on top and found very little noise from the set up and boards never moved going to the beach and back. Just what she wanted. Happy Dad, daughter and boards. This system will easily allow for future attachments such as a cargo basket or a kayak retention system.

5 stars - I am more than satisfiedWritten by George Sperry, on 10/13/2017

Usually, I refuse to review something; I keep it if it is quality [and if I have kept it, the seller should know I accept it], I return or trash it if it is junk. This product is the best I have seen in over ten year, fits like a glove on my vehicle and very well designed. If I need another one, I would buy this product again without hesitation.

We needed to haul our teenager's 28" bass drum to marching band practices and performances. The roof rack fits our car perfectly. We're so pleased there was something available for a 10 year old small car that didn't come w/ roof rails.

I haven't hauled my canoe yet but I feel very secure with the racks. Solid as a rock. It took some thought on the installation but was able to do it by myself in a reasonable amount of time. Just don't cut corners on installation because the directions are very specific on mount locations and bar placement. I'm anxious to try it out.

Bought this to attach J carriers to for transporting our 2 kayaks. The racks are very stable, little wind noise.

Product was light and relatively straightforward to install, however, it would be nicer if it was easier for a single person to install. As it is, it is much easier with two people.

This product I purchased along with the kayak rack system. When the packages arrived I did a item checklist and was missing the rubber ends to the bars. Not a major thing however, the bars make a bigger noise while driving since the ends of the bars are open. Fantastic product all the way around. First time purchasing Inno, love it.

Once you figure out how the rack mounts it's pretty easy to install. Never had any problems.

Installation was not easy from the written instructions, so I just Googled it! Plenty of videos to make it very easy to install. I just wish I was taller! Great product. The tightening of the locking mechanism was very important for a tight and secure fit. Happy with this product.

I had a hard time finding a roof rack that would support my kayak on my 2009 hyundai accent hatchback. I was a little skeptical when I bought this, as There didn't seem to be any way to attach it to the car, and even when It came I put it on and was extremely cautious. But this has absolutely proven itself, the engineering and construction are amazing. Absolutely I would recommend this to a friend!

Got this roof rack to carry 2 kayaks on an kayaking adventure on our Nissan Juke 2013. Didn't take too long to set up & pretty sturdy. Also not too much wind noise. I would recommend this product to a friend.

When you don't the factory option installed, this is a great substitute. The only small issue is the inability to remove cross bars. So there is wind noise.

Needed a rack that fits a 2011-2013 Prius with sunroof and REALLY did not want anything that would get close to that pricy solar panel. This fits like it was made for it. Easy on/off, and seems like the roof will collapse before the rack would bend. Only negative is that the bars end up only about two feet apart, so don't plan on carrying any 10' boards on it.

Fits well. Easy to assemble and install. One small problem was the instructions had an error in the dimensions for positioning the bars but it was obvious where the correct location was so no big deal.

Install on our 2015 Mazda CX-9 was a piece of cake. The measurements in the instructions were perfect. Instructions didn't mention that there are 2 sets of holes at the rear of the car (for the factory rails) and you only need to remove the covers from the front-most pair. I took a guess and was right. The racks look great. I do wish they had a cover for the inside side of the towers, but that's a very minor thing.

Bought these for large kayak - Jackson Big Tuna. Get the job done and have taken a beating so far. The kayak is huge and getting it on the rack can be a wrestling match. So far the cradles have stood up to it though I don't expect them to for more than a season or two which I would consider fair for the cost of the product and heavy use its getting. Simple product, quality won't wow you, but its a fair deal. Goot fit on my roof rack, no problems with screws. Cargogear shipping was on time and I'd order from them again.

On my Prius, and I read this elsewhere, any roof rack will decrease your mileage. For me I lost about 2-3 mpg, but that is because the car is very aerodynamic with a small engine.

Traverse AeroBlade Rack Reviews

5 stars - Awesome and relatively easy to installWritten by DignifiedPauper, on 5/4/2016

I got this to help haul kayaks. It works great. Bars are pretty quiet too. I also have the Thule Hull-a-Port Aero kayak carrier on them, and still not too bad. My only complaint was that the instructions are a little too vague, but nothing YouTube couldn't solve. No need to have them installed if you have the slightest of know-how.

Exactly what I was looking for, we were a little bummed out to find that our new Ford Edge with Vista Roof couldn't have a roof rack, but after some research we found this site that had the Thule rack that would work with the Vista Roof! We are very pleased with the rack itself, it's fairly simple to assemble and install, took overall maybe a little over an hour. Also very pleased with this site,

2008 Ford Edge Roof Rack - Complete System - Thule Traverse AeroBlade

5 stars - A great deal. Shipped fast.Written by Mindy the Mover, on 9/14/2012

Ordered this rack for my move from Wisconsin to California. Worked great and it fit my Prius perfectly!

The Traverse rack is Thule's bare roof rack. The Traverse foot is made of metal with an nice looking aerodynamic plastic shroud. The fit hooks are rubber dipped to protect your car. The really nice AeroBlade cross-bars cut the wind reducing drag and noise. Adapters may be needed for some accessories, some accessories are not compatible, so be sure to check our rack and accessory guide. Locks are available separately security is industry standard. While locks cost extra the Thule one key system allows for having the same key for the racks and accessories. The Aeroblade bars and Traverse feet exude quality and fit.

Thule AeroBlade Crossbars are now available in black. This is the same great rack as the Traverse AeroBlade Roof Rack with crossbars that have been powdercoated black. The finish is tough with a slight texture.
